ISU is a strong program.

What a shocking development.Excellent team win. Kansas tried to make it a rock fight and we killed them. our three bigs really dominated them inside. we really missed Milan’s ability to stretch the floor and it’s definitely a concern going forward. Teams are really going to pack it in on us.
And Pav was useful at times, esp in the non con.TJ's "hit" rate on transfers is like 90%. The only players who weren't big contributors were Paveletzke and Jeremiah Williams.
Might as well let the big dogs eat.Us and Auburn. Those are the top dogs.
Seems like Pav is playing well at Ohio this seasonAnd Pav was useful at times, esp in the non con.
Yikes
So weird right?Wow you really searched for this thread?
Btw we get healthy, Curt gets his shot back, this thread becomes true again.
I think having a stud shooter like Milan out is bigger than we thought. Puts more pressure and defenders on Curt, Keshon and Lipsey. Plus lipsey isn’t shooting his best with a banged up hand… dude is an absolute warrior that is battling through pain. He grabs that hand almost every time back down to defense.The team is mentally gone… I’m not sure what it will take to get them back. It doesn’t matter what you do if the shots don’t fall. The offense just can’t move the ball well anymore … maybe the scouts have figured us out… the team is completely different than a week ago. Let’s see what they are made of…
He might have cooled off pre injury, but opposing Defenses had to scheme for him. When you rollout Heise or Chatfield onto the floor in his place that is a non threat from the 3 point line, you have an extra defender you can shift around to double team as necessary.I like Milan as much as anyone, but lets not forget he cooled off a little. He was averaging less than 7.5 points/game the last 5 games. And against Utah he had 2. It's not like he was shooting lights out. I really hope they don't rush him back from injury and make it worse.
Agreed. I'm just doing the usual ISU be negative about everything to keep my expectations low for when he's back.He might have cooled off pre injury, but opposing Defenses had to scheme for him.

When heise and Jackson are on the floor the other team can ease off them and guard the other 3 tighter and double up. As we saw last night.
I just pray we get Mommy back before Houston AND he’s good. No use reinjurying and missing him for tourney time.
Let’s all get behind these guys
He was 40% from 3 in the 4 conference games he played, teams can guard us different now with no CuJo coming off the bench.I like Milan as much as anyone, but lets not forget he cooled off a little.

It's more than just how teams are guarding us. We don't move the ball well, over dribble, don't move enough without the ball, are lazy off screen pick and roll situations and have no one hunting shots with confidence. It's almost like they just take turns to see who can actually make a shot that night. Jefferson is a black hole when he gets the ball down low too. Oh and offensive rebounding is terrible. Besides that we're just fine.He was 40% from 3 in the 4 conference games he played, teams can guard us different now with no CuJo coming off the bench.
The mental part seems rather interesting after last night too actually. There was a couple times it looked like CuJo just said "nothing is going in, so **** it Im going to toss it up whether its a good shot or not"The team is mentally gone… I’m not sure what it will take to get them back.
